The institute identifies new themes and issues linked to current developments in academia and society.

The IIS offers a number of interdisciplinary study programmes along with a wide range of electives (minors, honours modules and various public events) for students from any faculty, staff, and members of the public. All IIS activities are designed in collaboration with one or more faculties of the University of Amsterdam.
